As Long Angeles crime spirals out of control, even some of the city's wealthiest residents have flocked to Beverly Hills' only gun store to buy firearms to protect themselves and their belongings.Beverly Hills Guns first opened by appointment only in July 2020, and has seen upscale residents from Santa Monica to the Hollywood Hills increasingly in a panic following some high-profile smash and grabs and violent home invasions in recent weeks, Los Angeles Magazine reports. Many are self-proclaimed progressives who've never even held a gun before, but who've been so spooked by soaring crime in the famously wealthy enclave that they've decided to arm themselves.

How many will get some real training? They can afford it, but are they smart enough to get it and listen?

Are these folks afraid to venture beyond the boundaries of Beverly Hills to visit a gun store? Surely there are many stores within an hour's drive. Are they afraid to visit a sporting goods store that sells guns? They won't find one on Rodeo Drive. If need be, buy a gun the next time you're passing through Las Vegas. Or, if you're afraid to be seen purchasing a gun because you have always ridiculed gun owners and don't want to be cancelled for your hypocrisy, ask your bodyguard to go with you to help you fill out the paperwork and buy one. Or, just go to a pawn shop and buy a used 20-gauge shotgun or even a .410. If you don't know what you're doing, you're more likely to hurt yourself with a 12-gauge.

Despite the anarchy, limo libs cannot stop voting democrat because they are irrational. They voted for Gascon and Newsom and would do so again. As stated many times on this site, liberalism is a mental illness.

Baldwin should open a gun safety training center - only libs may apply.

Remember: A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.
In this case it's a whole class.

The Beverly Hills Elite are reaping what they've been foisting on the rest of America for decades. How do you like Biatches?

These fools are going to be hard pressed to get any sympathy from the folks in flyover country. As we have watched them destroy our culture with their filth, and as we have watched their sanctimonious virtue signaling, I can’t manage to feel anything but justification of my contempt of them. They are morally reprehensible lemmings who would do or say anything to gain the acceptance of the most unprincipled among us, each other. These fools come crying when they see what their policies have wrought only when the feces hits the fan and soils their perfect lives? Grow up! Do some soul searching and realize the dogma you embrace is evil. While you may want to drag the rest of us down with your foolishness, thinking Americans reject you and your ideology. You made that bed…

I have been conducting NRA basic piston certification class (required in my state for a CCP), and have noticed that in the past two years there has been increase in women students. In fact, the last one was 70% women. At the completion of the course, they are allowed to shoot a variety of revolvers and semi-automatics of various calibers and we discuss the good and bad features about the ones then favor. That way, they get a gun that "fits" them and that they are comfortable with rather than the ones that the gun store has a high inventory of. Demand for the class is great and registration fills up quickly.

They’d be a lot better off changing their voting habits than buying those evil firearms. Besides, I thought they all lived on walled-in estates and had personal security.

Many still won't put two and two together and will keep voting for the socialists that created the city and state they live in. Actually #4. Buying a 20- or 410-gauge shotgun might be perfect for them. It's tough finding 20-gauge shells, and nearly impossible finding 410 shells, so by buying shotguns of these gauges, they are less likely of shooting themselves or anyone else by accident.

Quick question to Cal's wealthy crowd who are now buying up guns and ammo - are you the same people who voted to retain Newsom last September?

And do you know how to shoot with a gun, clean your weapon, and store it securely? What do you know about your local gun laws, folks?

Someone should tell the Beverly Hill residents that want guns that I hear Alec Baldwin is doing weapons trading and is opening up a gun range. Have at it.

Having a gun and knowing how to use it are two entirely different things. We might have a lot of contenders for 2022's Darwin Award winner in the offing!

The hollywood attitude of already knowing everything there is to know will not serve them well.

That gun store is also not open to the regular folks, but by appointment only to the wealthy elites who live in that area.

AND..since the media giants and condescending Hollywood actors seem to think they know everything ...let them struggle with their possessions....and as smug big business..like amazon and google think they are so smart because of lock downs...perhaps some folks will stiff the credit card bills ...just as the blm and antifa crowd loot their stores...so now perhaps some Americans will rob their monthly nut...by not paying their bills...

I would love to have been there when those morons find out that California has a 15-day waiting period for gun purchases! They were ALL in favor of that law - until THEY wanted to buy a gun....

Someone mentioned Alec Baldwin in this thread, and if you don't know anything about the guns of the old west (other than movies) and wonder if Baldwin's "I didn't pull the trigger" story could possibly be true, I happened to run across a video with some guy that I never heard of before purporting to discuss the topic.
I was skeptical - I own several of that type of gun, and understood all that the video shows before I watched it. But, if you don't know the details of how those old western Colts and their replica guns work, and if you are actually interested, this guy does a pretty good job of explaining the two possible ways that is MIGHT bet true--- and debunking them. I'm not a huge fan of his 'style', but he gets the facts right.
He does a fairly good job explaining it. One thing to add....the "movable firing pin" that he isn't sure if the original 1873 Colts had - they DID have, it is a necessary part of the design to have the firing pin move just a little bit so it can work correctly. He is using the exact same make/model replica gun that was used in the movie.
So, if you care and want more information - mostly on how Baldwin DID pull the trigger, here you go:

Hollywood is the Crime School of the world. Ten year olds have witnessed thousands of murders from TV and movies. Imitation is not only a form of flattery but a natural action by the low IQ population. Live with it, folks. It will take many years of re-education to cure.

If I am not mistaken, Schiff is the congressman for Beverly Hills. What's wrong with this picture then?
